It is the data backplane of the modern microservice architecture. It's now being used as the first persistence layer of microservices and for most data aggregation jobs. As such, Kafka has become an essential product in the microservice and big data world. In this upcoming conference with host Michael Carducci and NFJS Speaker and Instructor, Daniel Hinojosa, we discuss why Kafka is crucial. Is this just a Pub/Sub, or is there something more to it? What role does this play in a microservice architecture? What is meant by real-time data analysis? Can we apply Machine Learning decisions immediately to our data? How do we store our results in a permanent datastore? Each answer we delineate which libraries and frameworks we use to each problem, like Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, and KSQL.</font></span></p></div></body></html>
